Background Music: Premonition When: First Encounter with J ???: Strange... I sense a dark power within you... Who are you?
Soma Cruz: It is rude to ask questions before introducing yourself. J: Yes, you're right. I can't give you my name, but people call me J. Soma Cruz: People call you "J"? Why hide your real name? Are you a criminal? J: No. I have amnesia. I'm told that I was in an accident in 1999. When I woke up in the hospital, I had forgotten my name and my past. Soma Cruz: Oh, I see... Well, my name's Soma. J: Your dark power...? Were you born with it? Soma Cruz: I don't really know. I first noticed it when I entered this castle... J: I see... I guess I was mistaken. Soma Cruz: Mr. J, why have you come to this castle? J: Call me J. I am filled with fear when I hear the name Dracula. I came here because of the prophecy. I also thought my memory might return. In fact, since my arrival, I have felt like my memory is returning. Soma Cruz: And your accident occurred in 1999...? Maybe Dracula was involved...? J: I fear you are correct... Especially since I have magical powers... Soma Cruz: J, are you an exorcist? J: Well, you might say that. But I work for no one but myself. I must be going now. I'm sure we'll meet again. Soma Cruz: Yes, see ya...
(J leaves the room)
Background Music: Premonition When: Second Encounter with J (after defeating Balore) J: Ohhh...
Soma Cruz: J, what's wrong? You look pale. J: D-don't worry... just now... all of my memories came flooding back. Soma Cruz: What!?
(J stands up) J: It seems that your dark power triggered the return of my memories. Just like I guessed... I have quite an extensive history with Dracula. Soma Cruz: I thought so... Julius Belmont: My real name is Julius Belmont... I am a descendant of a clan that has fought against Dracula for ages. Soma Cruz: And the person who destroyed Dracula in 1999 was... Julius Belmont: Yes. It was me... but there were others who assisted me... Soma Cruz: So, if Dracula is revived again, just as it is written in the prophecy... Julius Belmont: Then I must destroy him! It is my destiny. Soma Cruz: You haven't met a man named Graham yet, have you? Julius Belmont: Graham? Oh, you mean that missionary, right? I met him a little while ago. But when he saw my face, he turned and ran. Soma Cruz: He told me that he was Dracula. Julius Belmont: I did sense Dracula's powers at work within him... but it's difficult to believe that he's Dracula... rather... I think... No, forget it. It is nothing more than a hunch. Soma Cruz: Huh? Julius Belmont: Assuming that he is Dracula, I won't be able to kill him yet. Soma Cruz: Why not? Julius Belmont: I need my weapon. Soma Cruz: Your weapon? Julius Belmont: Yes. It's a whip that was handed down to me. It's called "Vampire Killer." In 1999, I sealed it in this castle to weaken his spirit and magical powers. Soma Cruz: That means it's in this castle somewhere? Julius Belmont: Yes. And I know exactly where it is. I'll go and get it now. Soma Cruz: Alright. Please be careful. Julius Belmont: Pray that my hunch proves to be wrong. Farewell for now.
(Julius leave the Arena)
(Julius catches up to Soma) Soma Cruz: Julius? Julius Belmont: So you were the one. I didn't want to believe it was true... Soma Cruz: It's true. I am Dracula. But I'm not what you think I am! Julius Belmont: I must destroy Dracula at any cost. That is my destiny. Soma Cruz: NO, WAIT! I don't want to fight against you. Julius Belmont: Nothing you can say will stop me! Prepare to die!
(Julius enters the battle stance)
When: After defeating Julius Soma Cruz: STOP! I'VE HAD ENOUGH!
Julius Belmont: Wh...why... Why won't you finish me off? Soma Cruz: You took it easy on me. I could tell. The strength of a Belmont... No... the strength of a vampire hunter is greater than this. Julius Belmont: ....... When I fought you, I felt the evil spirit within you. But there's more... I also sensed Soma's spirit. And that's more than enough to stop me. Soma Cruz: .......... I've got a favor to ask of you. Julius Belmont: What is it? Soma Cruz: From here, I will set off to fight against my own fate. If I lose the battle... and become the reincarnation of evil, I want you to kill me. Julius Belmont: ........ I will... I promise. Soma Cruz: Thanks... now I can go into this battle without reservations. Julius Belmont: Farewell, my friend. Don't let me use that whip again.
Background Music: You're Not Alone When: Final battle with Chaos Soma Cruz: I'm finally here... I wonder if I can do this alone...
Mina Hakuba: You're not alone. Soma Cruz: Wha...what? Mina Hakuba: Everyone remaining in the castle combined their powers to contact you. Soma Cruz: Does that mean they all know... that I'm Dracula? Mina Hakuba: Yes... Arikado told us everything... Soma Cruz: I bet they're all afraid of me... Mina Hakuba: No, not at all! At first, we were shocked. But everyone believes you'll get through this. I'm going to send you a message from them now. Listen... Hammer: You'll visit my shop again, won't ya? I'll be waitin' for ya. Yoko Belnades: Good morning, Soma. I just heard about what happened to you... I told you this before... You are who you are, and you mustn't let him win. Julius Belmont: To the man who beat me... don't disappoint me now. Genya Arikado: This is your last chance, and ours as well. I'm counting on you... Soma Cruz: They're all... rooting for me... Mina Hakuba: ... You can do it... because I believe in you. Soma Cruz: Mina... Alright, here I go!
Background Music: Purification ~ Ending, Epilogue When: After defeating Chaos (Less than 100% of Souls Collected) Yoko Belnades: Hello, Soma. Congratulations. I've got another job that I must attend to, so I have to go now. When I heard that YOU were Dracula, I was shocked... I was also just waking up, you know. If you think about it, though, everything turned out OK. Ha ha ha... ... I'll never forget your strength and courage. And I haven't thanked you yet for rescuing me. So...thanks. You're like a younger brother to me. It was fun, and I hope we meet again. Goodbye.
Hammer: Hey there! Much obliged for your business at my shop. Back at the castle, I realized my true calling. Fighting's not for me. I think I'll quit the army and open up a shop sometime soon. Promise me you'll come. I'll give ya a good deal. Julius Belmont: You fought well. When we fled the castle, I felt the power from Vampire Killer fading away. I don't know what that means. But I won't have to do anything for the time being. Farewell. May we meet again. Genya Arikado: The path you took was the most challenging one. You did well. For God to be good, evil is an absolute necessity in this world. In the future, someone may follow again in Dracula's dark footsteps. At that time, perhaps we'll meet again. Farewell... In my mother's name, I send thanks to you. Mina Hakuba: ...Wake up... Wake up...Wake...
(Soma's location is revealed to be in Mina's arms atop the Hakuba Shrine, away from the castle) Mina Hakuba: Wake up... Wake up, Soma. Soma Cruz: Uh, ungh... Mina Hakuba: Soma! Thank god, you woke up. Soma Cruz: Heard you folks speak. I was saved by you all again. Mina Hakuba: Again? Soma Cruz: Yes... I couldn't have won the last battle by myself. Everyone's kind words and encouragement led me to victory... Mina Hakuba: Yes... Soma Cruz: Remember, inside of me, Dracula's power lies sleeping. It's not evil, but... it's definitely changed me. Mina Hakuba: It's OK. If anything ever happens again, everyone will rush to your aid. Soma Cruz: That's right. I guess they will. Look, the eclipse has ended.

I was so worried about you... Arikado told me that you would be okay, but I was worried. I thought you would never wake up.
(Soma stands up) Soma Cruz: I heard everybody's voices... You saved my life...again! Mina Hakuba: AGAIN? Soma Cruz: Yes... I couldn't have won the last battle by myself. Everyone's kind words and encouragement led me to victory... Mina Hakuba: I'm so glad that your experience didn't change you. Soma Cruz: But it DID change me... Mina Hakuba: In what way? Soma Cruz: I'm a lot cooler now! Mina Hakuba: Yeah... you HAVE changed. The old Soma would never have said that. Soma Cruz: Remember, inside of me, Dracula's power lies sleeping. It may not be evil anymore, but, it's definitely changed me. Mina Hakuba: It's OK. If anything ever happens again, everyone will rush to your aid. Soma Cruz: That's right. I guess they will. Look, the eclipse has ended. Your kind words gave me the strength to win... Thanks...
